Soviet Marshal any religion can act that way but to the extent that a person can live communism is a much improved system for humanity, religious or otherwise. When the only people who have the opium are rightists that’s a danger to the whole world regardless of the opium.
@@formersovietmarshal7184 Islamic scholars were persecuted in the early Soviet years, there were little to no halal shops and mosques in most places and people were not allowed to practice their religion outside home their homes or mosques, I'm a fan if the Soviet Union but one of the few things they got wrong was their treatment of religious people
@@hueyfreeman1983 Actually quite the contrary. There were many pro-Soviet muslim movements and they were embraced by Lenin. In fact, Lenin seemed to prefer Islam compared to Orthodoxy
@@Natadangsa That was under Lenin but under Stalin many mosques were shut down and turned into factories and millions of Tartars were exiled, thats why the Nazis managed to convince Slavic Muslims to fight for them.
Soviet modernity = alcoholism, decadence, state capitalism, repression, forced labor camps and g*nocide, yeah, great civilization you had, Marxists never fail to amaze me with succh blatant "good racism" and "good chauvinism"
@@sbevexlr848 Islamists = against women rights, gay rights, birth control, abortion, scientific education and against Atheism. Doesn't that remind you of the christian right-wing
@@formersovietmarshal7184 they aren't against women rights birth control, abortion Scientific eduaction and against Athiesm they just debate em, that's just wrong lol
I as a muslim, kind of disagree. I believe that religion should be of personal matters and that mosques should be within walking distance near their homes. We have friday prayer and pray 5 times a day, it should not be taken as propagandizing our religion to the public, i see it as call to prayer "Adhan" one of the things i disagree with the Soviet Union is the restrictions on Islam. I understand how bad it will turn out when it comes to religious uprisings, but i believe also that mosques should not be heavily restricted, i feel bad
lets be honest some mosques need to be restricted specifically the ones where the imams encourage violence against infidels and women and lgbt people and people who dress differently and other muslims and... etc
well, if you are westerner, please shut up, I am uzbek and better than bunch of westerners know my nation and its sufferings. Keep your freaking nose away from making some prejudices or assumptions or even conclusions about a 24-min video.
The Revolution did not go from Moscow to the rest of the Russian Empire: if anything, it was the reverse of that, as the Bolsheviks established their power in outlying areas of the Empire first before taking Moscow, though the Revolution was fought in all places at once, including the constant struggle of the workers of Moscow. The October Revolution was the culmination of many decades of revolutionary struggle that came to recruit almost all workers and peasants in the Russian Empire, making it impossible for the czarists or capitalists to continue governing at all. The Revolution happened in the tiniest and most remote villages of the vast Empire just as it happened in Moscow. The entirely of society was swept up in it all. That is how most successful revolutions are.
@@ryanrocha5981 Russia , unlike your Brits or french invaders , never got colonies , all parts of Russia were equal and got status of idependent republics
You can be both but I think most people are simply raised into a religion and never made an informed choice to join it. As that decreases, so does the number of believers.
@@marxist-leninisttheory8023 You can't be both no. Marxism is built on scientific methods such as dialectical materialism. Materialism itself goes against all religions since religions are based on old texts without any evidence to anything. When you change a country to a Socialistic economy and the people in that country getting a better life, then religion also decreases. Religion is propaganda that tells the poor to: "Work like a slave, listen and do what your masters tell you, and don't be free. You will be free when you die and come to the magical non-scientific Heaven". But when people get clean clothes, water, a home, job and can live and buy stuff... then religion also decreases. Compare poor countries with religion and you see, better the people of a country has it, less religious are they. Scientific. Compare Iran with Sweden, compare USA with Iceland ..and you see.
@@abdo19code someone might have already done it. Christians have liberation theology which you might want to look at. I have a friend in the CPB who used lib Theo sources in his PhD as their way of describing Marxist concepts are more palatable. As far as I'm convinced, if Muslims or any other religions want to read and incorporate Marx into their doctrines, how can that be a bad thing?
I live in Tashkent and what this guy is saying about the new generation not wanting Islam is a nonsense. There is a huge resurgence of Islam. The traditional Islam of the rest of the world. Tashkent is a beautiful leafy city with the most gorgeous mosques I have ever seen. The culture is a mix of Persian and Turkic and the people are much better than the Slavs west of Central Asia. The people are sol welcoming, loving and curious to learn about Islam. The communists committed intellectual genocide by wiping away peoples collective memories, their history and sending steal land off land owners, Aristocrats and business men and sending them off to the Gulags. The traditional Uzbek architecture is so much more beautiful that the grey, drab ugly Soviet buildings the cover the entire USSR. The same buildings that herded in humans as if they were machines and mindless robots just there to serve the Empire. Good riddance to the hideous monstrosity that wrought so much suffering upon half the world - USSR.
@@Bazingaskibidirizz lol, you should have lived there! in the beginning all sorts of religious things were banned, after the end of WWII ussr started to ease this ban
Uzbek culture is much richer than Russian culture. Why would Uzbek follow Russian system? Uzbeks spread influence to Afghanistan, Pakistan even India and Bangladesh through Ghaznavids and Baburids.
This video turned out so laughably wrong in its predictions. Uzbeks have been experiencing a marked religious revival since Soviet fall despite obstacles put up by their government. Shows how little westerners understand about Islam even when they travel to Muslim majority places. They can only frame other believers from their own rather troubled Christian reformation history and subsequent decline of faith in favour of consumerism and secularism.
